Governor’s Corner, Bonair Siding and the Stanford Healthcare Center were most heavily affected by the outage, which also disrupted some campus elevator lines, fax machines, point of sale lines and alarm circuits. The Door Kings service used to ring in guests from room phones was also disrupted during the outage.

While analog phones were affected, phones operating on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems were not, according to an AlertSU notification sent on Thursday morning. The cause of the outage remains unclear. University IT (UIT) has not responded to The Daily’s request for comment.

“We apologize for the inconvenience that this outage caused,” UIT wrote in a Thursday email announcing the outage’s conclusion.
